The inconsistency of cards for delaying a restart is infuriating after our two red cards earlier this season. Leicester just blatantly doing it to Spurs (and player was on a yellow already) and just gets a talking to

I'm not sure what we've done to piss off the refs but it's just blatant at this point the bias

Oliver is the one that sent off Trossard for kicking the ball away against City earlier in the season when (a) it was literally 1/2 second after he blew the whistle (b) he was already in the act of clearing the ball and (c) City had a player down and wasnt going to restart quickly. In yesterday's game, Gomes blatantly kicked a ball away that we had a legit opportunity to restart quickly and Oliver did nothing.

And let's completely forget the fact that he (a) gave Gomes a yellow for a tackle that was worse than MLS's straight red and (b) refused to give Kovacic a 2nd yellow against us earlier in the season for a tackle that was also significantly worse than MLS's red.

I don't know if the FA would ultimately do anything but I think there is enough evidence of corruption/bias to have Oliver removed entirely from PGMOL.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Clean, kinda wish it was a 2nd kit and more aggro on the 3rd kit but I'll take it

Don't forget the unprecedented 2 yellows in 8 seconds for Martinelli as well.

Arsenal appear to be getting close to the signing of 18yo Norwegian CM/AM Sverre Nypan

I think this is probably a financially driven move, but at the same time if there is one position that Arsenal is pretty stacked in, its CB. You have arguably the best CB pairing in the world currently with Saliba/Gabriel, but then the list of first team players who are very capable of playing there is long. Timber, White, Califiori, Kiwior, Tomi/Tierney (obviously when they aren't injured) and even Rice.

I find it very interesting that while Heaven participated in preseason we've had a different CB (Kaccuri) training with the 1st team and making the bench during our injury issues.

Well when you're first name is Maldini jk. But Kacurri is definitely more filled out in terms of build than Heaven. Ayden still has some growing to do

Don't forget VAR! Darren England.

Darren had the benefit of slow motion replay.

Apparently we've supposedly put a bid in for Ollie Watkins from Villa.

the rumored bid of 60m for a 29yo feels like the definition of screwing up your summer window budget

Well, the club is a bit desperate and this also perhaps puts a little something in Watkins' mind for the summer.

They club will know where they stand and what they need for Isak. Otherwise, who exactly are we potentially screwing up the budget for?

We will see what happens. Villa also seem like they may lose their other striker Jhon Duran to one of the Saudi clubs.

I prefer my Jorginho goals bouncing in off Emi Martinez's head, but this was nice too

And a nice goal from the kid

Nwaneri's goal reminded me of something you'd see from Saka.

Already looks like we're the 3 seed.

Love this new format.

Man City thru to the knockout round in 22nd.

Sterling is an absolute bust. I hope you are not picking a lot of his salary. Dude dives, begs for fouls, and hesitates on shots, and when gets a chance from the spot takes a poor, poor penalty.

Can someone explain why the 1 & 2 play the winner of these two draws. Is it reseeded? Or to avoid country match ups?

They're going to put Juve and Feyenoord in one "unseeded" bowl and PSV and Milan in a "seeded" bowl. They will draw from the unseeded and then the seeded. Then the other matchup is the remaining two teams. Seeded teams get home field in the second leg.

Then on Feb 21 they'll put the winners of those two games in an "unseeded" bowl and Arsenal and Inter in the "seeded" bowl and do it again.
